Emergency services attended and the victim was taken to a London hospital. Fortunately, her wounds avoided any vital organs and she was later discharged from hospital.
Greenidge, of Auckland Avenue, fled the scene after the attack but was later arrested in Ramsgate.
Justice
PC Luke Liepins, Kent Police’s investigating officer, said: ‘This was a very serious assault which could easily have had far more serious consequences for the victim.
‘Greenidge failed to take responsibility for his actions, prolonging the uncertainty for his victim, and I would like to pay tribute to her bravery in giving evidence against him.
‘I urge anyone who feels at risk from someone they know to report it to Kent Police. We will work to find the best solution to keep you safe and bring the perpetrator to justice.’
